Our Mission
Our mission is to help individuals break free from anxiety and stress by transforming the way they breathe, think, and respond to fear and uncertainty. By teaching nervous system regulation as a hard skill- through evidence-based breathwork, nervous system training, and guided cold exposure- we empower our clients with fast-acting tools to create lasting change. Whether you’re an overworked professional, an athlete pushing your limits, or someone who has tried everything and still feels stuck, we offer a structured, research-driven approach to nervous system mastery.
What Makes Us Different?
Boston’s Only Breathwork Coaching Specializing in Nervous System Regulation
We focus on baseline breathing mechanics, teaching clients how to breathe efficiently for long-term stress resilience.
Rooted in Research
Our methods are backed by published studies, ensuring that every technique we teach has proven benefits.
Actionable & Measurable Results
Clients track progress through the Breathing IQ and Parasympathetic Recovery Score, quantifying their nervous system improvements over time.
A Holistic & Integrative Approach
We uniquely combine breathwork, cognitive reframing, and controlled stress exposure (ice baths) to help clients not just manage anxiety but rewire their response to it.
A Transformative Community Experience
Ice bath events are more than a practice—they are powerful gatherings where individuals face discomfort, find support, and push through their limits together.
About Our Founder, Rachel Lee
Rachel’s journey has been marked by resilience and a relentless pursuit of well-being. After a career in education, she transitioned into the fitness industry, founding her first company, YOU Wellness, to empower women to take up space through strength training and intuitive nutrition.
Her personal breakthrough came after years of searching for relief from anxiety and depression, which were triggered by a major trauma just six days after graduating high school. After a decade of prescriptions, therapy, and medical interventions, Rachel finally found profound healing in cold water immersion. This experience ignited her passion for sharing the power of breathwork and cold exposure with others.
Through Ice Bath Boston & Breath, Rachel brings a research-backed, hands-on approach to nervous system regulation, offering one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and community-based events. Her mission is to equip clients with sustainable tools to reduce stress, improve resilience, and enhance their health and happiness.
